The Blacksmith

Inside, the hammer and tongs spark
Where off the anvil comes
The cage around my blood
That keeps The Tiger pacing
In broken, aching circles
Gnashing on the impatient and restless bones
While the Nervous Blacksmith is waiting
To forge another lock
That isolates my hands
From the gifts I'm told are mine
